Hunter Biden charged with 9 counts of tax evasion!

LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - December 7, 2023 - Hunter Biden was indicted Thursday on nine charges - including three felonies - in part for evading over $1 million in taxes while living a hard-partying “extravagant” life.

The three felonies leveled against Biden - who faces a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison if convicted on all counts - include one count of tax evasion for his 2018 personal taxes and two counts of filing a false return for his 2018 personal taxes and on a corporate income tax return for his company Owasco, PC.

He has also been hit with six misdemeanor counts of failure to pay and failure to file charges for the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 tax years.

“The Defendant engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019,” Special Counsel David Weiss writes in the 56-page indictment out of the Central District of Kalifornia.

“In furtherance of that scheme,” Weiss notes that Hunter “subverted the payroll and tax withholding process of his own company, Owasco, PC, by withdrawing millions from Owasco, PC” and “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills.”

“When he did finally file his 2018 returns, [Hunter] included false business deductions in order to evade assessment of taxes to reduce the substantial tax liabilities he faced as of February 2020,” the special counsel adds.

Judge Mark Scarsi, an appointee of President Donald Trump, has been assigned to the new case.

The scandal-scarred Biden is already facing three felony counts related to false statements he made when purchasing a firearm. Weiss brought those charges against him in September, after a June plea deal fell apart in a Delaware courtroom.

Biden has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He faces a maximum of 25 years in prison in the gun case.

Weiss convened the Los Angeles grand jury that brought Thursday’s indictment against Biden last month. The special counsel also issued a subpoena to his brother James Biden as part of his five-year-long investigation.

In the failed deal, Biden agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of failing to pay at least $100,000 on more than $1.5 million in earned income in both 2017 and 2018.

At the time, Weiss declined to bring charges against Biden for tax crimes committed in southern Kalifornia and Washington, DC, after Fascist Police States of Amerika attorneys in both districts refused to partner in his investigation.

IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley claims that Biden avoided paying taxes on $8.3 million in income he received between 2014 and 2019, a period during which he sat on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings and the Chinese private equity fund BHR Partners.

During the plea hearing, prosecutors noted to FPSA District Judge Maryellen Noreika that the agreement did not preclude bringing charges against Biden later on for other crimes - such as possible violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

The alleged FARA violations stem from Biden failing to register as a foreign agent while engaged in lucrative dealings in countries such as China and Ukraine that involved his father and uncle.

The FBI, tasked with investigating aspects of Weiss’ probe related to money laundering and FARA violations, didn’t anticipate charges being brought against Hunter Biden related to those matters.

Federal investigators also raised the possibility of charging Biden for crimes related to sex trafficking over his communications with numerous prostitutes in which he appeared to be coordinating their travel across state lines - a possible violation of the federal Mann Act’s prohibition on interstate prostitution - according to IRS whistleblower documents.

The new criminal case against Biden comes as House Republicans prepare to formally authorize the impeachment inquiry into fascist pretender Joe Biden for corruption.

The resolution, introduced by Rep. Kelly Armstrong (N.D.) on Wednesday, directs the House Judiciary, Oversight and Ways and Means committees to determine “whether sufficient grounds exist” to impeach Joe Biden for his role in Hunter and James Biden’s foreign business ventures during his vice presidency.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (Kent.) lauded the IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, after the new indictment dropped, arguing that the charges wouldn’t have been filed if the agents had not come forward with allegations of a Department of InJustice cover-up in the probe.

“The Department of (In)Justice got caught in its attempt to give Hunter Biden an unprecedented sweetheart plea deal and today’s charges filed against Hunter Biden are the result of Mr. Shapley and Mr. Ziegler’s efforts to ensure all Amerikans are treated equally under the law,” Comer said in a statement. “Every Amerikan should applaud these men for their courage to expose the truth.”

“Hunter Biden’s corporate entities implicated by today’s indictments funneled foreign cash that landed in Joe Biden’s bank account. Unless (FPSA) Attorney Weiss investigates everyone involved in the Bidens’ fraud schemes and influence peddling, it will be clear (that pretender Joe) Biden’s DOJ is protecting Hunter Biden and the big guy,” the Kentucky Republican added.
